It reviews CEMAC’s growth record, explains procyclical performance and the links among poverty, inequality, and human capital constraints. The note proposes a three-pillar policy and reform agenda—public financial management, inclusive business and financial sector development, and strengthened sector frameworks—supported by regional integration, social protection, and cross-cutting challenge responses, followed by a credible implementation roadmap.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disc losure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nAuthorized  \nEnhancing Sustainable and Inclusive Growth in the Central African Economic and Monetary Community  \nPrepared by IMF’s African Department and World Bank’s Africa West Region  \n2022/002  \nJOINT IMF/WORLD BANK POSITION NOTE  \nEnhancing Sustainable and Inclusive Growth in the Central African Economic and Monetary Community  \nSuggested Policies and Structural Reforms  \nPrepared by IMF’s African Department and the World Bank’s Africa West Region  \nCopyright ©2022 International Monetary Fund and the World Bank  \nCataloging-in-Publication Data  \nIMF Library  \nNames: International Monetary Fund.
